[@AllHollowsEve], it kept taking me back to page 1 no matter how I tried to get 5...maybe I accidentally took too much cold medicine lol. Anyway.... [@Holy Soldier], after finishing I realized I should have asked for clarification on Fairy/HK diplomacy. If something isn't kosher to your canon, this can be edited or ex-con. I also wanted to check if you mind me giving her a mundane weapon (since it wasn't in the original sheet). It's a bit silly for a fugitive to be unarmed. [Hider= Weapon addendum] She does carry a pair of push daggers that pass as scissors if they aren't examined too closely.

The woman leading it smiled absently at greetings from other vendors here-and-there and scanned the area with vibrant green eyes. It had been a while since Devan had come to the larger city, but she had a few-- certainly not friends, but friendly-- acquaintances. Finding a good spot, she gave the pony his feed bag and lay her shawl over his back, then tied her silver curls into a pompom on the back of her head. A couple of stones kept the wheels of the cart from rolling as the small woman efficiently started pushing and pulling and turning various pieces of the cart, slowly transforming it into a stand with an awning and dowels to hang her merchandise. Devan cursed under her breath when the last support for the awning stuck, “...every time …4ű©«¡^9 thing…” With a roar of aggravation disproportionate to her stature she kicked the cart. And immediately grabbed her toes through the soft slipper-like shoes. “Wrath is a sin, you know, miss,” a deep voice chuckled from behind her. Devan whirled, diaphanous skirts billowing and fully intending to rip the smartass a new one, but emerald eyes widened when she found herself face-to-- another part of anatomy- with a Holy Knight. If the white armor and being a human- [i]or giant![/i] on the Fairy Isle wasn't enough indication, the man's sword-hilt and pommel were a stylized silver Tree of Life. [I]Uh oh...[/i] She backpedaled into her equine companion and saw the Tree was etched into each pauldron as well. Snatching her shawl from the pony’s back, she hastily wrapped it around herself, hopefully before he could get much of a view of her cleavage-- and more to the point-- the dimly glowing brand nestled there. The knight must have written her reaction off as simple surprise of him being so close combined with modesty, because he just chuckled again and stepped around the tiny woman to examine the offending support. He tugged on it. He wiggled it. He leaned to look around at the rest of the cart. He tugged again. He tried putting it back into its ‘closed’ position and pulling it back out, only to get stuck in the same spot again. He growled and smacked it with a gauntleted fist. “What was that about Wrath, sir?” Devan drawled with the tiniest smirk. She rummaged through a drawer of the cart, taking the chance to surreptitiously use her gift. The secondary pupils in her unusual eyes dilated as she peeked at the knight through a fringe of silver that had escaped from her hair tie. He didn't seem to suspect anything unusual at all, but that quick peek would make him slightly more naive for a little while. She wasn't going to take a chance. Blinking a few times, her eyes returned to normal and her hands pulled a small tin of oil from the drawer. “This should help.” The knight laughed; a few strategic drops did wonders and the awning was up in no time. “So how long are you in town, little Wrath?” His wink didn't ease the knot that dropped into her stomach. [I]What a twisted sense of humour… Surely he doesn't actually suspect, wrong Sin or not...[/i] Devan covered her discomfort with her own laugh that tinkled not unlike the pony's bells. “You saw there's no brand on my neck, Sir Knight-- Is that the right one? I'm only here for the day.” “That it's Sloth; Wrath's is here,” he said, laying his right hand on her left shoulder, “but that Sin is a man, so you're safe. A pity, you're not here long, though; I could use a new cloak. I'll take my leave, then, miss. May the White God watch over you!” Devan watched until the Holy Knight was out of sight, then folded her cart back down. She kicked the stones from the wheel, took the pony's nearly empty feed bag, and left the market, then the city. It would be quite a while before she returned. [/hider]
